2013 vintage. Light green apples on the nose, surprisingly creamy body balanced with tartness and some acid. Feels a bit conflicted, as if it's somewhere between a crisp unoaked chard and a creamy oaked chard, but still nice. — 7 days ago

Bright fruits on the nose and to start with a nice light buttery finish, but a nice acidity. Molly's notes: green apple, lemon and creamy finish. Lovely alone on this warm spring day! — 2 months ago

Subtle black fruits (blueberries and blackberries) and warm leather nose, smooth on the palate but with nice acid/tannins making it slightly dry, warm baking spices, tobacco, vanilla). Not overpowering in any way. Sooooo yummy. — 3 months ago

"Fresh layers of green apple and pear are accented by a creamy richness due to sur lie aging". Definitely creamy and smooth on the pallet. Yum! — 8 days ago

Tropical fruits and baking flour nose, big pineapple flavor, some oak but not buttery, smooth. Molly's notes: grilled pineapple, mango, pie crust. This is a fantastic summer chard! — a month ago

Dark black fruits and a hint of spice on the nose, silky smooth palate, medium body, light acid. More spicy than fruity but definite raspberry and blackberry in there. Molly's notes: black raspberry, black plum, earthy. A very drinkable pinot alone or with food. Yum! — 2 months ago

Dark fruits and a bit of spice on the nose, medium acid gives a nice dryness, medium to light body, the duck for dinner is bringing out the spicy peppery notes but the fruit still lingers. Mmmmmm! — a month ago

Earthy nose, dried leaves and berries. Jammy, stewed fruits vs the fruit-forward California pinots, drier as well bit still balanced. Fantastic wine. — 2 months ago
